Kimmel on Trump as Pope Image: ‘Doing Things that Make People Mad Isn’t His Job, It’s My Job’

‘Let’s stay in our lanes’

EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: “And while it goes without saying that the pseudo-Christian MAGA-verse would have lost its collective chocolate pudding had Biden or Obama or any Democrat done this, that was not the reaction for Trump. Instead, it was, 'Oh, he’s being funny, loosen up, everybody.' Trump, of course, said he has no idea where the image came from and knows nothing about it, even though he posted it on his personal account. And here’s the thing. I’m sure he did it to be funny and to make everyone who doesn’t like him mad. But what he seems to keep forgetting is, he’s the president of the United — doing funny things that make people mad isn’t his job. It’s my job. So, I know he’s a deal maker. This is my offer. You stop making fun of the pope, and I won’t tank the world economy. Okay? Let’s stay in our lanes."
